Where were you located in Japan during your mission, Coach T? I lived on Hayama Beach for a portion of my childhood. Please, though, don't start typing to me in Japanese. :)

First Name: Randy, it's in the dictionary, don't look it up it fits.
Gender: Male, turning the big 6 oh next month and I'm terminally ill but maintaining well and in great spirits.
Occupation: Jack of all trades, construction in the past, safety engineer and teacher. Now Mr. Mom and all sorts of self-employed odd jobs with some farming. Wife makes more than I do. A good man can find his wife a good job. (smilie)
Favorite Food: A steak! (Med/well) prefer buffalo and bananas but not together. Can't have salt in any form, naturally occurring sodium at 4-600 mg a day, better known as nothing. Our water has 54 mg in a quart.
What song is currently stuck in your head?: Cassie by Flyleaf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCMvQrp8zoI
Religious affiliation?: Lutheran, been out of the Morg 20 plus years.
Other Pastimes (other than message boards): anything in the mountains, own trail 90s, fishing, quit hunting, carpentry, bird watching, walking the dogs.
Location: Closest town is Pocatello, Idaho a suburb of Utah.
Why your avatar?: The moniker Pokatator is a play on Pocatello which has been referred to as Poke-a-tay-toe, I changed the last to a tator. Mr. PotatoHead is plastic and phony like a lot of life and parts are interchangeable. Spuds are from Idaho and so forth, pretty straight forward.
Favorite movie of all time: Blazing Saddles, it shows the total stupidity of prejudice. That movie couldn't be made in today's PC world.
Children: Seven from 38 to 13, two died as youngsters and with that said, my parting shot:

Statistics have proven that 95% of all people are caused by accidents.
Please don't call for references, I made it up.

I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.
